You are looking for a yacht made for a para?
Funny. I'm looking for someone who can afford a yacht.
Both handsom and energetic, with a sense of humor and a high I.Q. I'm a welcome addition to any family situation.
And as far as that silly "gender" thing goes, you just point me in the right direction, gimmie a little push an' I'll swing all day!

I've been on this catamaran - amazing! Designed and built by a para and all controlled from inside the cockpit...

Another guy you can contact is Chris Mitchell in Australia - he will be more than happy to help you as he's designed plenty of accessible yachts.

Could be a good business for you! Design and build an accessible yacht and then Charter it out - no one else doing this!

Talking of accessible yacht designs both Chris Mitchell of Access Sailing and Sherri Backstrom from Waypoint are designing accessible yachts for the charter fleet. Chris is also designing a trailable yacht. Chris has been at the forefront in accessible sailing for a long time and it was his yacht the Scud 18 that was used at this year's Paralympic games.

Can I hear from a wheelchair user that has leased an accessible yacht? How was the experience? Great or okay? Also, how accomodating was the staff on the yacht to your needs?
